Chapter 1321

The candlelight lit in the Jiaofang Hall flickered slightly with the evening breeze blowing in from outside the hall.

He Lingman, wearing a black robe and a white gauze coat, stood behind He Lingsi.

The figures of the two sisters were reflected together in the bronze mirror.

He Lingsi was dignified and beautiful, while He Lingman was charming and enchanting. Although the sisters looked five percent similar, their temperaments were different.

"Sister, what do you mean by this?" He Lingsi looked at her younger sister He Lingman behind her and said: "What do you mean by long-term plans?"

"Sister..."

He Lingman lowered her voice and said: "Sister's identity is different from the past. Although sister is now the Empress Dowager, it seems that there is no difference from before, but sister now relies on Duan Yu, not others."

"Although Bian'er is supported by Duan Yu, have you ever thought, sister, if one day, Duan Yu captures Luoyang, will this world still be surnamed Liu by then?"

"If that day really comes, will Bian'er become the Emperor?"

He Lingman's two sentences immediately pulled He Lingsi's thoughts to the future.

He Lingsi's eyebrows frowned slightly.

If Duan Yu never breaks through Luoyang, that's fine.

But once Duan Yu breaks through Luoyang one day, what if the world is surnamed Duan?

"Sister, if one day Duan Yu breaks through Luoyang and the world is surnamed Duan, instead of Liu... then how will sister, Bian'er, and Tian'er conduct themselves?"

"Sister, Duan Yu has many wives and children in Ji County... If the world is surnamed Duan, then the future throne..."

A look of worry flashed in He Lingsi's beautiful eyes, but she still said: "It's still too early to talk about this..."

"Early?" He Lingman shook her head quickly and said: "Sister, how can it be early?"

"It has only been three years since Duan Yu was a wandering scout in Jinyang until today. It only took six years from the time Gao Zu raised his army until he became Emperor. Three years pass in a flash."

"I might as well speak clearly about some things."

"If the world is really surnamed Duan in the future, then do you think Duan Yu will let Bian'er stay on the throne, sister?"

He Lingsi's two hands were tightly clenched together, and her teeth bit the corner of her red lips.

This kind of thing... of course, it's impossible.

Who would pass the throne to the offspring of someone who has nothing to do with them?

He Lingman shook her head slightly.

"Although Tian'er is Duan Yu's child, if Tian'er's identity is never revealed, can he compete with the son of Dong Zhuo's daughter?"

He Lingman shook her head again with a heavy heart.

Absolutely impossible.

Duan Yu started his career in Jinyang by relying on Dong Zhuo.

And the generals and strategists under Duan Yu are mostly from Liangzhou, which is a disguised way of saying they are all fellow villagers of Dong Zhuo's daughter.

With the influence of fellow villagers, plus the generals under Duan Yu, and the fact that Dong Zhuo's daughter has been managing by Duan Yu's side for so long, how could her son compete?

"Sister, a mother is honored by her son. Your future status and position will be affected by Bian'er and Tian'er. Sister is the Empress Dowager now, but you may not always be the Empress Dowager in the future... That's why I said, sister, you should make plans early," He Lingman said.

Make plans early.

But how to make plans early?

After her brother He Jin died, there was no one left in the He family to use.

Furthermore, given Duan Yu's personality, he would absolutely not allow any overly powerful maternal relatives to interfere with the state affairs of Chang'an.

"Sister, I understand everything you said, but the He family now... you also know the situation of the He family, sister. Even if I want to make plans early, what should I do?"

Footsteps came from outside the Jiaofang Hall.

As the palace maids' salutations entered the hall, He Lingman immediately lowered her voice: "There will always be opportunities, and there will always be ways."

When the two sisters turned back, they had already seen Duan Yu walking towards the hall.

"Why, what happy things are you talking about?"

Duan Yu walked towards the hall with a smile.

He Lingsi and He Lingman, who had already finished combing and dressing and were waiting for Duan Yu, turned their heads and immediately revealed smiles.

"Sister was saying that the Jiaofang Hall of the Weiyang Palace is much better than the Changqiu Palace in Luoyang," He Lingman smiled charmingly.

Duan Yu carried one hand on his back, wearing an ordinary black robe, and his developed muscles and burly figure made the black robe look like it was about to break.

"Since it's good, then you can stay here with your sister. The Weiyang Palace is still too empty, so your sister will have a companion here and won't have no one to talk to."

Duan Yu said while walking towards little Duan Tian in the crib.

He Lingman covered her red lips and laughed softly on the side, saying: "You bad person, are you thinking of me and sister living here together, or are you thinking of me and sister living here with you..."
